4960,"Add ""strip"" keyword argument to CharField constructor",tzellman@…,Daniel Ward,"I am suggesting that a '''strip''' keyword (or something similar) gets added to the '''CharField''' constructor in '''newforms/fields.py'''.
This would allow for certain fields to get stripped before being cleaned.
'''Example:''' Assume you have a CharField with min_length set to 3. Typing in 3 spaces will be valid, which in some cases is fine. But other times, you want to strip the whitespace. This way, a field filled with spaces will be considered to be empty, if the ""strip"" argument is True.
This is only a suggestion, but it would be nice to have. I know that I could easily sub-class and create my own ""StrippedCharField"", and that might be the right way to go, but I thought this might be a common issue for other people as well.
Thanks!
